Today, April 17th, 2022, Ghana has created significant history with the hive ecosystem, even as the world commemorates Christ's death. The Easter season has given so much pleasure to the inhabitants of Fawoade in Ghana's Ashanti region. It's not simply a pleasant day; it's a life-changing event. I'm writing to provide an update of the hive ecosystem's well project's launching ceremony to all hivers. The day has filled the hearts of the inhabitants of Fawoade with joy since one of the community's key issues has finally been addressed.
Ghana has several villages and towns that struggle to acquire enough water for their everyday operations. This encouraged the hive ecosystem to assist in the construction of a borehole water system via its community empowerment activities. Fawoade is a small village in Ghana's Ashanti region that was selected to benefit from the hive empowerment activities by receiving a well. Over the last several weeks, under the supervision of @mcsamm and @collinz, a well has been constructed to deliver potable water to the people of the Fawoade village and nearby towns.
Preparations towards the Launch
Earlier this weekend, I posted a post about the Hive Project Launch Preparation, which featured all of the preparations and numerous tasks required to guarantee the borehole project's smooth launch. I must state unequivocally that this is one of the greatest blockchain-related projects Ghana has seen. We are quite proud of the hive ecosystem's efforts to improve lives in Ghana and across Africa.
We contacted certain Ghanaian media outlets, who promised to cover the project launch and share the news with all Ghanaians on their news platform. Among these media outlets were Ghanaweb and ModernGhana, who agreed to cover the opening of the hive project on all of their news platforms.
Other media people who agreed to shoot videos and images for us to utilize on all social media channels were also there. Because the introduction of this project was planned in conjunction with the leadership of the Fawoade community, we agreed with the town's leaders to set the date for today, April 17th.
In this respect, a number of announcements had been made. This was done to guarantee that the whole community gather with us at the premises of the town council leader, where the well is located. We then made it certain that some refreshments, pastries, and water were prepared to serve all members who would be present for the launch. This refreshment session was offered to convey our gratitude to the Fawoade community for embracing hive in their community.
Since the start of the hive's well project in Ghana, we've been in contact with a number of hivers and specialists for advice and help to ensure that everything goes well. And we are delighted to have contributed to its establishment in order to give water to the Fawoade community.
Hive has a distinct brand that must be communicated in order for this empowerment programme to be successful. On that point, a lovely hive plaque was designed and made for the well project. This was to share the intellect behind the development of this remarkable facility with the people of Fawoade and the rest of Ghana. In addition to the project plaque, we printed some hive stickers with the hive name and logos to exhibit the Ghanaian people the hive ecology.
The Project's inauguration
At 11:45 a.m., we (@mcsamm and @collinz) convened at Fawoade neighborhood, where the well is located, with the camera and other media men. We had meticulously prepared with all of the necessary documents to guarantee the project's smooth launch. Ribons and other materials were made accessible to us in order to create the project. As a result, several members of the community after church service gathered at the venue, as ordered by the community leaders.
When the majority of the people had arrived for the ceremony, the launching began with a word of prayer by one of the town elders, as is customary in Ghana. He then announced the purpose of our assembly to everyone who had gathered there. After the members were briefed on the cause for our gathering, @collinz was asked to make a short lecture to the community about HIVE as the primary sponsor of the Fawoade community's well.
From there, we asked four community leaders to join us as we cut the ribbons to formally declare the hive project inaugurated and dedicated to the community. A rousing wave of applause filled the place, and members' faces were filled with excitement. It was a wonderful sight to watch when the pipes were opened and everyone could observe the flow of the drinkable water that had been given to them.
The refreshment
After the hive project was inaugurated, all community members were given water, refreshments, and pastries in appreciation for their participation in the event. The distribution of food items guaranteed that every present member received a portion of the food that was made accessible to them. Despite the fact that not all members were there since some were still on their way back from town and church. We still fed around 85-90 persons who attended this launching event.
Thanksgiving
It's always felt wonderful to be thankful to the individuals who helped you become who you are. This caused the area and town landlord chairman to offer him the chance to show appreciation to the hive ecosystem on behalf of the whole Fawoade community for this great gift. I @mcsamm was compelled to interpret portions of the message he transmitted in expressing their heartfelt thanks to the hive environment since he chose to talk in our local dialect (twi).
The occasion came to picture sessions in which residents of the community requested that we take some photos with them before our departure. We had had fun shooting photographs with the community members, and I've included a few more images below.
On this point, we are pleased to announce that the hive empowerment project in Ghana has been formally inaugurated and dedicated to the Fawoade community in Ghana, with the goal of providing adequate drinking water to the community. My upcoming posts will go into further depth regarding the ceremony and what happened. We would like to offer our deepest appreciation to all hivers @guiltyparties, @theycallmedan, @doze, @ranchorelaxo, @ocdb, @trafalgar, @resonator, @acidyo, @ackza, @v4vapid, @canadian-coconut, @haejin, @adetorrent, @daveks, @zuerich, @lichtblick, @dswigle, @newsflash and all who have supported our initiative up to this point. On this wonderful day, we share the pleasure of the Fawoade community with the hive ecosystem.*
